Synopsis

Fleeing a failed revolution, the young Venezuelan Abel takes refuge in the vast, unmapped forests of Guiana - among tribes who shun one stretch of wood above all others, believing it the haunt of an evil spirit.

There, in the green twilight, Abel hears a voice among the leaves that is neither bird nor human, and at last he sees her: Rima, a girl of the forest, last of a vanished people, who speaks the language of the birds and moves like light through the trees.

First published in 1904, W. H. Hudson's Green Mansions is the most beloved of all romances of the wild - a haunting story of love, wonder, and loss, and of a creature so purely of nature that the world of men cannot let her live. A lifelong naturalist born on the Argentine pampas, Hudson wrote it as a hymn to the vanishing wild, and it has never been out of print since.

This Lightbound Library edition sets Hudson's full text - John Galsworthy's 1915 foreword, the prologue, and all twenty-two chapters - afresh, bound behind an original painting.
